Commenting When Using Layouts

Do you really think it matters if someone comments that they're using a specific layout or not? I feel like as long as they aren't tampering with the credit or claiming it as their own then it shouldn't really matter whether or not they comment 'using x layout!'. I highly doubt you're going to go around and try to find specifically where and how it's being used every single time someone says they're using it when you get hundreds of comments and upvotes / subscriptions anyway. I only felt the need to make this blog because I've seen people on both here and roleplay republic really get upset that someone didn't comment that they were using a layout even when the credit is clearly still there. I know some coders and people without shops and galleries are probably going to read this and roll their eyes with some thought like 'it's just a comment it's not that hard to do' but why do you so desperately need that comment is what I wonder? Is it a validation and self-esteem thing...or? I'm genuinely curious.

Barely anyone uses my layouts so every time I get a comment, a little part inside me becomes happy. Even more so if I get to see that they're actually using the layout (because sometimes people comment but when I look at their thread, they're using another layout, OTL). But honestly, it's nice to know that someone is interested in using my work and see how they tweaked it.

Im biting the bait lol. I own a layout gallery but i recently removed all rules except keep the credits bc i dont want to receive comment notifications from my gallery lol unless it is an /actual/ comment

Though when i first started, i think it’s default that that comment rule is in your rules since probably everyone’s doing it and ofc it’s nice to see that people are interested in your layouts, esp if youre new
Edit: also, sometimes i stalk people who use my layouts to see how theyll tweak it

I'm not a coder, but I make some original stuffs that I can relate to this a bit.
So if were a coder I would be glad to see comments of people notifying me they're using my layouts for (1) building my self-esteem, don't we all need this to be motivated and continue working on what we love. knowing people like our original works is just encouraging esp to self-taught coders (2) a survey to which layouts people like better and that I would have an idea about the people's preference, that can also give me insight on to which should I improve or what kind of layouts should I do more (3) courtesy, I find it polite for people if they notify me they're using my work
